- Who Won, and What? WHO won? is the question of politically-minded citizens as the special session of the general assembly fades into memory, unwept, imsung, and accompanied by a Bronx cheer. By the “who,” they mean Republicans or Democrats and it indeed was a peculiar session, with the former in control of the senate and the opposition in complete Charge of the house. Such condition never is conducive to the best legislation for, even with all things balanced, the legislative minds would have experienced great difficulty in producing some constructive laws. Yet in spite of this handicap of a split assembly and LieutenantGovernor Edgar D. Bush managing

IF any one tells you that the maidens of the Victorian era lived on a higher moral plane than those of today, you might buy a copy of E. M. Delafleld’s new novel, “A Good Man’s Love,” and refresh yourself by discovering that it just isn’t so. This novel examines the career of an upper class English girl at the fag end of the Victorian era, and the author concludes: That a girl of that class and time thought of nothing at all, from the moment she made her debut, but how to get a man. She never met a man without wondering if she might not entice him into matrimony. Every act of her life was designed with that end in view. Sheltered she may have been; innocent of constant thoughts about the opposite sex she certainly was not. The heroine of this book has a dismal time of it. She gets one youth on the hook but has to discard him because he is too poor. Then she falls in love with an army officer; but because she indulges in a little mild necking with him, her good name vanishes, and by the time she gets it back both he and her chances of catching up eligible young man are gone. In the end, after a decade of worrying, she finally goes to the altar with a decrepit and stupid old fossil; but she goes gladly, because, as her mother explains, a woman's life can begin only after her marriage. “A Good Man's Love” is a wise and ironic novel. Published by Harpers at $2.50, it is the August choice of the Book League of America.

turned to the Third avenue flat. Finally, as June ended, Mona packed her father, mother and Kitty off to Atlantic City. In July she and Lottie set off to Maine for a vacation. “It will be dull,” Mona warned, “Remember, I have the Townsend dignity to uphold. No flirtations, no gay parties. Not even dancing!” “I am not so interested in parties," Lottie confessed. In a lower tone she touched upon a forbidden subject. “Have you heard from the—the boys?” It was early evening and they were in Mona’s sitting room. Lottie, lovely and ingenuous looking as always, was seated on a chaise longue. Mona, in a fragile white gown and wearing Steve’s diamonds, moved about aimlessly, considering what baggage to take on the trip. “Mother hears from Bud. He's well and says the others are. You know a boy's letters!” Mona sighed. “The new machinery is installed and the mine is booming.’ ’ “Does Bud write home?” asked Lottie curiously. “You know if that gang finds out, they even might

the senate, it is only fair to say that, miraculously enough, same important legislation slipped through. That’s a fact, although it is difficult to believe it. The real winner was Bush, of course. He counts it a victory when he can make a half dozen promises and break them, vote in place of a member who refuses to vote, and put on a grandstand act of utter inanity. u u He satisfied the farmers, to whom he has played gallery god for years, by pushing through the $1.50 maximum tax bill; he satisfied the drys by breaking his word to loyal friends and continuing a dry conference committee, which made no effort to reach a compromise on prohibition; and attempted to use the Wright law repealer as a lever to obtain passage of their own pet measures. But he broke faith with the farmers when it came to an income tax, an issue upon which he has campaigned for years, because many of Bush’s friends (yes, he has some) were opposed to any measure which would touch their pocketbooks. Without a word of protest, he let this bill die in the senate. As to which party emerges with the best record —well, in all fairness, the palm must go to the Democrats. In the house, the majority, led by Delph McKesson of Plymouth, put through a liberal program, with James M. Knapp and his Republican minority, as a whole, offering nothing constructive and seeking to obstruct the passage of every bit of important liberal social legislation. Even the politics played was so puerile that the kids in the high school debating society could give Knapp and his colleagues cards, spades and little casino and win. a tt Over in the senate, no leadership at all would have been better than that of Lee J. Hartzel! of Ft. Wayne, the Republican general. Under the domination of Bush, his overlord, Hartzell was lost whenever the Lieutenant-Governor was unable to give him the proper signal—and, as far as that goes, even when Lee got the signal, he often fumbled the ball. The Democratic senate minority, under Walter S. Chambers of Newcastle, wise to realize that a purely obstructionist policy is the worst politics, stuck to the program laid down by the party leaders and so emerged without any great error—except one, and that was Senator Thollie (Driveling) Druley, a member of the stalling conference committee on the prohibition repealer. But that merely proves the truth of the belief that every group has its cross to bear. The Democrats won, according to the record—but what?

follow him to South America. Aren't you afraid they may tap the mail box?” “Bud writes through the Garretson office and they send the letters by messenger. Steve thought of that.” “He thinks of everything,” Lottie said—“except me!” She arose and examined an evening frock Mona had taken from the closet. “Thought you said we wouldn't bother much about clothes?” “I got that out for you. It’s never been worn.” “It’s lovely! Where did you get it?” Mrs. Faxon cabled to a friend in Paris. She sent several. I’ll give you this if you like it and (ransacking the closet) this and this—” Mona was not yet accustomed to having a maid wait on her. She was busily looking over lingerie, smoothing gloves, examining hose. Lottie watched silently, knowing it was useless to remind her friend that the maid could do all this tomorrow in a trice. After a while Lottie said, “Has Mr. Townsend showed you the Townsend jewels yet?”. Mona looked up from the stocking box. Her hand strayed to the diamond chain about her throat. “I have these, hut of course they’re not Townsend jewels. I have my emerald. “Mrs Faxon says he selected an emerald necklace for my birthday, but he’s saving it for me until the opera opens. . She says he wants to see me go down the aisle in a black velvet gown and emeralds.” a u tt THERE was a movement at the window. Both girls seemed to turn at the sound. They were alone in the house except for the servants on the top floor. Mona, as always, had dismissed her maid because it seemed so silly to keep her about just to lay out a nightgown. The windows looked out on a tiny, iron-fenced balcony. The curtains were moving, and, instantly alert, the two girls held their breath. The flowing silk parted and a man, young rather and not bad looking, appeared. “Don’t get scared! Don't get scared!” he said. “I ain’t here to hurt anybody. I'm here to get the Tonwsend jewels.” His tone was almost friendly. “And don’t try ringing for a servant, either,” he advised, taking a step nearer. “Nobody will answer. They're all out.” The young man was was entirely at ease. Inviting Mona to be seated, he took an easy chair. “If you know so much about the household,” Mona began, “then you know I haven't any jewels to speak of. You know ” He grinned broadly. “Give me the ones you don’t talk about, then.” He removed a silver cigaret case from his pocket and flipped it open. “Smoke?” The girls declined. The stranger selected a cigaret, lighted it and puffed as if he were there for the evening. But he was in rather more of a hurry than had at first appeared. “Now, then,” he said briskly, “where is the safe?” Without speaking, Mona moved to the wall, pushed aside a tapestry, twirled a dial and flung open a small door. The safe was empty. “I told you I had no jewels,” she said. “My husband is saving them for the opera.” The man eyed her. Are you sure of that?” She nodded coolly. “Well, where do you keep them?” “In a safe deposit vault, I suppose, down town. I’ve never seen them. I’ve never been interested.” “No?” It was difficult to believe this young man was a thief. He surveyed the situation as though it were humorous. “It appears we’re both new at this game—you at owning gems and me at acquiring them. “Bad racket for both of us, maybe. Well, if you haven’t got them, that’s that. But where is the chain you were wearing when I looked through the window?”

TARZAN AND THE ANT MEN

Quickly Tarzan replaced the bars at the window so that it had the appearance of not having been disturbed. Two warriors entered with a slave carrying food and water. Seeing the prisoners were evidently safe they were departing when one said, "Tomorrow you return to the quarry.” <

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

Lottie threw an astonished gaze at Mona’s throat where an instant before Steve's diamonds had gleamed. “There!" Mona indicated a jewel case on the dressing table. n a a THE man opened the box, held up a string of imitation pearls, dear to Mona's heart, a ring or two she had owned for years, and then the thin diamond chain. “If you wanted to hide it, why didn’t you do a better job?” he asked. "Have you got the Empress?” The words were like a bomb. Mona stared back at him. “Steve sold the Empress!” she said quickly. “You must know that if you follow the market.” “Sure, he sold it. Don’t you know who bought it?”

Lottie and Mona looked at him blankly. The man seemed delighted with the effect of his words. “Well.” he said, “your husband bought it. He bought it for you, to show how kind-hearted he is and to make his nephew sore. “The deal went through yesterday and we thought you’d be playing with the sparkler.” He turned toward the window. ’Don’t move, don’t move.” he said smoothly as the girls started toward him. “I’ll let myself out, thanks. No trouble! And thanks again for these little trinkets. They’ll be a help You won’t miss them with the Empress to play with.” As his head disappeared through the curtains he grinned again. “I’ll be seein’ you!”

The two slaves heard the heavy bolt shot in its place. In the gloom they felt about for the receptacles containing the food and water. “It it’s their idea to remove us soon,” said Tarzan, “it follows that we must escape tonight.” At this Komodoflorensai only laughed, a

Instantly he was gone. “Mona.” Lottie whispered, “he cant’ be a real crook! Why didn't you stall him? You didn’t have to give him those diamonds!” The other girl put a finger to her lips and shook her head mysteriously. “What’s the difference if I am to have the Empress?” she asked. “I'm tired now. I'm going to bed.” Half trembling, the girls undressed swiftly, loath to put out the lights. “You didn’t need to give him Steve's diamonds. Min,” Lottie* repeated a little later. Mona squeezed her hand. “You goose!” She kissed Lottie affectionately, "I didn’t! But I'm going to give them to you. “When that burglar came in, I

Tarzan went to the window, where again he removed one of the iron bars. He found him self looking out into a black void. It was but a short distance to the apex of the dome, but below him the shaft dropped some 400 feet. ‘‘lt will be safer to attempt to escape dewn the shaft,” he announced.

dropped the chain and rolled it up with a pair of stockings. He went away with the paste chain I had made last week!” u a u AT Twiiands next morning Mr. Townsend eyed visitor reflectively over his glass of grapefruit juice. “You didn’t frighten her, did you?" he asked. The lean brown young man sat iown and tossed a chain of diamonds on the table. “No.” Mr. Townsend nodded. He picked ip the chain, looked at it a moment tnd let it drop into an empty cup. “I didn't like to hßve her wear that,” he remarked. “I couldn'J.very well ask her to give it to me either.

I bought for her? The Empress?” “I did. She didn’t turn a hair at the news.” Mr. Townsend considered. “Maybe she’ll BvSk me for it,” he said almost wistfully. His companion rose, selected a cigar from a side table and, facing his employer, rocked a little on his heels. “I believe you're in love with your wife!” he exclaimed. The older man set down his coffee cup before replying. ’ Well ” “You didn’t want her to wear stones that came from your nephew's mine, so you bought the finest diamond on the market to make up for the robbery! Are you going to let her wear the Empress?” “Why not?” (To Be Continued)

"Could you find the quarry chamber where Talaskar is imprisoned?” asked the ape-man. "Why?” demanded the prince. "We are going after her,” explained Tarzan. “We promised we would not leave without her. “I can find it,” said Komodoflorensal, rather sullenly, Tarzan thought.
